Back Again!
Posted: Sunday, 21 November 2004 |
I'm not very good at this regular bloggging thing, am I?? It's been months..... ach well.
So what's been happening since June? Well the island ticks along much the same as ever. On the entertainment front we have had a bit of music, some dancing with a ceilidh band from Edinburgh, the travelling magician, some films and of course The World Stone Skimming Championships! Mull Theatre were here last night with their excellent production of Jeckyll and Hyde which was very entertaining and rather creepy.
The new band that I play in (Orchestra Macaroon, with 3 other Easdale Islanders, 2 'mainlanders' and 2 from Ireland) has had a good start in life! Radio Scotland seems to like it. They have given us quite a few plays over the last month and we have just recorded a studio session for Celtic Connections which will be broadcast on 30th Nov. We've had good reviews in Scotland on Sunday, The Guardian and The List. It's all very exciting and hopefully I will soon be paid large amounts of money to galavant around Europe playing tunes (I can but wish!). If your interested there's more here (and you can buy the album too... hint hint) - www.theshipbuilders.com - (follow the links to Orchestra Macaroon)
That's all for now, maybe it won't be 5 months till my next blog.
Bye
